If you have a 3.2 L Build would you still drive a 2 L or 1.7 L car in the garage? |

Asking for a friend, this is a kind of ridiculous question given what’s going on in the world ....
Let’s imagine that this person had a civilized 3.2 L build, good manners and not high strong or overly jittery. Let us further imagine that this person also had a similarly civilized to your car and 1.7 L car, and just to make this a bit more apples to apples that those were also decent street cars that had good manners and we’re not overly tuned or jittery. Basically let’s assume that all three have stock interiors and shift decently and compliance suspensions etc. last assumption is that they all have a similar body condition so basically removing the variables except engine. I know that a couple people here have multiple cars so there may be some first-hand experience with this question, but yes, trying to figure out if my 1973 1.7l and/or 2.0L car will end up sitting idle once the 3.2L is up and running. Thanks in advance for the thoughts and hope everybody had a good week . |

Good morning.
Pretty sure we can discuss this while all remaining civil, or at least I hope so. After some driving yesterday and this thread I’ve reached a decision that I am going to sell the ‘73 1.7 and finish a good mechanical build on one of the 2.0L cars (suspension and swaybars and refreshed engine) but skip the cosmetics on it so I’ll have it drive once it cools off here in SoCal. That will free up some funds to push the 3.2L ahead, ideally having it to drive this fall as well. I have a feeling, as you all have suggested, drive them back to back will tell me pretty quickly where my heart and interest is. If the 2.0L still soaks to me I’ll get the paint and interior work done. Thank you all again for being patient with the somewhat ridiculous initial question, I appreciate the shared experiences. |
